What this checks
Whether a market action is present. Origin and category do not exclude that action.
Who should use it
Teams that place products on the EU market or export them.
How results work
Likely in scope, likely out of scope, or review required. An unknown action stays in review.
Application date
From 2027-12-14 a product made with forced labour may not be placed on the EU market, made available there, or exported from the EU. Origin and product category do not remove that prohibition. This regulation does not create a generic audit duty or a recurring report.
Official sources
Regulation (EU) 2024/3015, the Commission portal, implementation guidelines, risk resources, the SME checklist, and authority guidance where applicable.
Limitations
This does not certify a product and it does not create an audit duty.
